France midfielder Paul Pogba tested positive for COVID-19. The national team left him out of the squad on Thursday. 17-year-old Eduardo Camavinga replaced him for the upcoming Nations League qualifiers against Sweden and Croatia.
Talking about the Manchester United player, France coach Didier Deschamps said, “I had to make a change at the last minute because Paul Pogba was supposed to be in the squad. Unfortunately for him, he had a test yesterday which was positive this morning.”
United’s players are likely to return for pre-season training on Wednesday.
France will travel to play Sweden near Stockholm on September 5. It will then hosts Croatia at Stade de France three days later.
